What kind of physical quantity is a force of 10 Newtons applied to push a box to the right?
- A Scalar
- B Vector
- C Unitless
- D Dimensionless
That's Correct!
It's Wrong!
A force of 10 Newtons applied to push a box to the right is classified as a vector quantity. Vectors have both magnitude and direction. In this case, the magnitude of the force is 10 Newtons, and the direction is to the right. Scalars, in contrast, have only magnitude and no direction (e.g., temperature, mass). Unitless and dimensionless quantities lack units or dimensions and are typically used for pure numbers or ratios. Therefore, the correct answer is B) Vector.
